The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 186 Changzhou City

"Old man, we came from the south and heard that the Black Moon Palace is luxurious and beautiful. We want to go and see it. I wonder if you... can you do anything?" Mingjing finished paying the horse money, and took out a few ingots of silver to buy the news, "You see You are knowledgeable, you must know people, right?"

The old man didn't take the money, he tilted his head and looked sideways at the two, then stroked his beard suddenly and said with a smile, "You two want to go to the Black Moon Palace? Don't you think it's too late?"

"How do you say that?" Ming Jing pretended to be puzzled, and angrily planned to put away the money, "We just heard that the Black Moon Palace is magnificent and there are beauties from the north, and we want to go to see the excitement, if we can't enter, then forget it."

The old man who sold the horse suddenly stretched out his hand to snatch the silver, weighed it twice and said with a smile, "If you two just want to take a look outside the Black Moon Palace, that's fine. This old man...does have some connections."

"What's the connection?" Ming Jing suppressed his excitement, pretending not to care.

"The old man's son is on duty in the Black Moon Palace," the old man said with a proud smile. "At the beginning of every month, he will sell horses from Changzhou City to the Black Moon Palace."

Zhao Shuang and Ming Jing looked at each other.

There is indeed a problem with this Black Moon Palace, if it is only the bedroom of Xiao Yan and Concubine Chong, why would they need so many horses?
"Old man, the two of us... want to go into the Black Moon Palace and have a look." Ming Jing took out silver several times the price of a horse, "Just take a look."

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the two of them with a smile, "You two are really courageous. If... something happens in the Black Moon Palace, I will not be responsible."

"Naturally! By the gods, I swear, life and death have nothing to do with you!" Mingjing promised with a salute to the north.

"Tomorrow... my son will come to Changzhou City to lead the horse to Black Moon Palace. At that time... the old man will send a few horse drivers to follow him," the old man collected the money, his wallet was bulging, He said happily, "You guys come over at the same time tomorrow, and I'll let him lead you in."

"Thank you old man."

Ming Jing and Zhao Shuang saluted, took the horse and left the horse shop in a hurry.

The old man with white curly hair stood in front of the stable, weighed the money bag twice, and smiled from ear to ear, "How come there are a few stupid Zhou people here every month? They gave money and died."

In the evening, the sky was a deep purple, as if it would soon snow.

A group of people rode horses, and their figures appeared thin in the desert, like a bunch of black migratory birds.

Changzhou City is adjacent to Yuding Lake, surrounded by some oases, and occasionally some shrubs grow in the Gobi Desert.

Zhao Shuang was riding on a horse, looking at the night in the desert, and said to the man next to him, "Ming Jing, the old man who sold the horse just now had a problem, and our journey has been a little too smooth."

Since they left Shangjing, they went all the way to the north, not to mention chasing soldiers, and they didn't even see a spy or scout.

Although the northern territory is vast and sparsely populated, the army of the Northern Liang Kingdom is still fighting with the Hancang army, fighting a tug-of-war. Why did they not see a single person, as if someone deliberately lured them It's like going deep into the hinterland of Beiliang country.

"The subordinates also feel that there is something wrong with the old man." Ming Jing glanced back at Changzhou City, pulled the reins again, and the brown and yellow horses following behind also quickened their pace, "But we have no other choice right now, or take the risk , or...you can only forcibly break into the Black Moon Palace by yourself, the general will find...the former is easier."

What Ming Jing said was right, the enchantment around the Black Moon Palace was very strong, I heard that anyone who accidentally approached the Black Moon Palace disappeared for no reason.

Zhao Shuang suspected that they were either dead, or... they were turned into medicine men.

If there is a strong attack, with more than 100 of them, I'm afraid they won't be able to attack. When the whole army is wiped out, they still won't be able to find the medicine man's lair.

"Then let's act carefully and adapt accordingly." Zhao Shuang nodded, thought for a moment and then said, "Tomorrow... only two people can enter the Black Moon Palace. If you don't want to go, let Hulan or Humu accompany me in. also the same."

It was his own idea to insist on entering the Black Moon Palace to find Cheng Qian. Entering the medicine man's lair was more dangerous than meeting the medicine man on the battlefield.

"Princess, does she really think that I, Ming Jing, are greedy for life and afraid of death!" Ming Jing's slightly childish face sank, as if he was really angry, he lightly rode his horse, turned around and drove away.

Sporadic snowflakes floated in the night sky, and when the north wind blew, they fell on people's shoulders and hair like dust, shining silver.

Zhao Shuang raised her head unconsciously, looking at the falling snow in the sky.

Ming Jing followed behind, looked up at her, and was shaken by the lonely and firm back, "Princess, if something happens to my subordinate tomorrow, can you... send Zhang Ruixue back to Shangjing safely for my subordinate?" ?”

Zhao Shuang turned to look at him, and said coldly, "You agreed to Zhang Shangshu, and you will send her back by yourself. Why do you ask me? I will enter the Black Moon Palace with you tomorrow. If something happens to you, wouldn't I be able to live too? "

Hearing this, Ming Jing was stunned for a moment, only to feel his heart beating violently, "What Wangfei said is true."

The two stopped talking until they met Mao Hu and the others behind a hill covered with green grass.

It was snowy in the morning.

A team of horses slowly marched towards the depths of the desert, passing through a desolate and vast desert, and suddenly saw a magnificent building made of black jade sitting in the middle of the desert.

Black Moon Palace!
"You two, the Black Moon Palace is ahead." The young man from the northern border who led the way rode up to Zhao Shuang and Ming Jing, looked Zhao Shuang up and down maliciously, and said in substandard Chinese, "You two Among Zhou people, he is very handsome and pleasant, why bother to take risks in the dragon's pool and tiger's lair, I see it as a pity..."

The name of this man was Sadhu, the son of the old horse seller. He was about thirty years old, with blond hair and unshaven beard.

It was not the first time for Sadhu to do this business of bringing people into the palace. He knew what happened to the people who were brought into the Black Moon Palace before.

Although the young man from Zhou in front of him is a man, it is very exciting to look at. If he is brought home and raised as a slave, he will be ecstasy.Sadu looked at Zhao Shuang daydreaming.

"Oh? I heard that the Black Moon Palace is the palace built by the new emperor of Beiliang for his favorite concubine. How do you say it is a dragon's pool and a tiger's lair?" Zhao Shuang pretended to be surprised, and asked with a gesture of admiration, "Brother Sadu knows what?"

"I hold an important position in the Black Moon Palace, of course I know it!" Sadhu was complimented by her, and he let go of his guard, and he felt flustered, "However, I can't tell you, unless...you agree to go back with me..."

What important job?Isn't he just a horse breeder?Zhao Shuang was disdainful in his heart, but there was still an innocent smile on his face.

While speaking, the blond young man reached out to touch Zhao Shuang's chin, but Ming Jing reached out to block it in time.

"We Zhou people have a saying that hearing is believing, seeing is believing." Ming Jing grabbed Sadu's arm and smiled, "Brother Sadu, just lead us in and take a look, why bother talking here?" explain?"

　Male lead: You buried me really deep, and I haven't dug it out yet...

　　Hall Master: Hurry up!This time it's really fast!
